Typical corporate behavior... to be expected from a large corporation.
Personally I read every email I get from them for just this reason.
I checked my usage and saw that I was using less than 200Hrs a month.
BTW-you must have to keep your connection open an awfull lot of hours to
be charged $700 for over 200 hrs usage. Either someone with no life
or a lot of people using the same line.
I'm sure this is just the start of this sort of thing from Bellatlantic.
they will keep trying to milk it for every penny they can get out of it.
I think they knew quite will that many people would pay the bill if they
quietly sent out an email. Very sneaky, IMO.

I don't know... it's not that hard to set up as is... at least I never
had any problems with it. I can't see why it is such an issue.
